I honestly don't know what I would do if this had happened to my wife...
TheAziz
Death did what he should do - he was there to take one soul with him, not two.

I really want to write a book about a concept like this. Death visiting each dying individual. Tell it from Death's perspective.

Good time to take a moment and thank the hard word of so many medical researchers over the years that have increased the chances of ...

... survival for newborns and their mothers.

maybe the most sad and beautiful "comic" about dying and eternal love

Be sure to read it right-to-left or it is a big pile of confusion! Took me 3 times through to figure that out for some reason...
DrScheperle
Not... really
anjaligirl
Omg thank you!
RelaxNothingIsInControl
Yes thank you... I was so confused!
RaigeJay
Ohhhhh. Thank you!!
tirusr
my weeb ass automatically did this.
md22mdrx
Anime-style artwork = manga = read from right to left automatically
ReaperOfNotes
Is it bad that I automatically started reading right to left? Too much manga for me?
sentiMountain
Only people reqd manga , they would know this
zeroexistence
Also the it's a countdown. The final countdown one might say.
wyndridge2
What a difference. Thank you!
TechnicallyRight
Did... does... is it hard to discern that with the numbers counting down??? Even if you aren't aware of manga style.... like...
TechnicallyRight
You know numbers countdown right? And the context of death standing there, implies counting down...right?
Thefirstargonaut
Why use our numbers but not reading standard?
Silent1fd
Generally translations just read right to left because mirroring the comic usually changes how the art looks/feels.
flamingflamingo
Uh... Japanese use those numbers too.
snuflebluepantalones
Pro tip. Thank you.
adrianontherocks
I’m still a little confused about some of the numbers on the other people...
adrianontherocks
Or is it all just in reference to her? I think I get it now.
flamingflamingo
It's her count down.
adrianontherocks
For some reason -perhaps because I initially read it backwards- I thought they were referring to different people. Like that ‘in time’ movie

"DON'T THINK OF IT AS DYING," said Death. "JUST THINK OF IT AS LEAVING EARLY TO AVOID THE RUSH."

If the Apocalypse happens and heaven/hell does exist can you imagine the queues!

That's a not a Discworld book

I did misquote it. "YOU ARE HAVING A NEAR DEATH EXPERIENCE, WHICH INESCAPABLY MEANS THAT I MUST UNDERGO A NEAR VIMES EXPERIENCE"

"Thud." Don't ask though, Death won't give you any spoilers.

No, the original title included her occupation: Witch. Kind of important to the Witchfinder Army.

I know, I was quoting Adam, when Anathema told him the name of the book she's looking for.

That book is so British I'm colonising my neighbor's apartment in the name of the crown to set up a sugar Plantation.

You mean... Molasses? Of course you mean that. Molasses and rum and... nothing else. Totally.

Why is the rum gone?
TiredStoat
No no no, plenty of natives... I mean subjects of the crown. Yes that's what I mean.

Slaves.

What slaves?? That's just my hired servant who works for free and can't leave.
tomyironmane
I believe the third thing is the lash? Seriously, The royal navy's ships went dry, and they outlawed flogging. The RN now runs on buggery.

Buggery meaning...?

Great thing to see as my wife and I go to the hospital to have a baby
FabergeBurrito
Best of luck to you ! It is low chances these days to have this happen. Congrats !
mcglirkymeow
Oh, well, good luck with that, eh?
MyNameIsDende
Oooh, I get it - you wanna change your wife with a hot younger one, you dog...
WhtThFcksTht
Congrats on the baby!
ActuallyACateArmyOfficialDoNotWhistleAboutIt
Hey, good luck, I hope everything is going smoothly! You got this, dad!
plustootwostoopid
Maybe focus on her and not imgur
FabergeBurrito
It's stressful & a lot of that time is spent waiting. Good time killer.
Kaiserboot
In his defense, sometimes the one thing your wife in labor needs is for you to make yourself as invisible as possible.

If it makes you feel better the risks these days is slim to none

i've recently read that black mothers die 3 times more likely to die giving birth. it's apparently a big deal no one is talking about.
l3fth3ch4t
Why, is it because the doctors don’t save them or is it biological

"She's bleeding after delivering the baby! Better wait SIX FUCKING HOURS before we do anything about that."
godskook
"Surprisingly high", yes, but it's still "slim to none". It's a lightning-strike level event. Don't worry about your wife.
geosynthetic
The maternal mortality rate is about a 0.3% chance in the US. Which is about 10x the chance of getting hit by lightning in your lifetime.
godskook
Which is exactly the sort of statistic that a husband shouldn't focus on while his wife is delivering their kid. This isn't politics.
MrKristy
20 minutes? Can someone summarize for me please?
Deoan
Yes. On average 26 out of 100k die in the US, about 3.5x as many as any other 1st world country. Rates are worse if you're a person of color
MrKristy
Wow, thank you for the summary, but wow.
